Abstract

Lead (Pb) is the most distributed of the heavy metals in the Earth’s crust. Exposure to and uptake of lead, the non-essential element, have increased. Environmental exposures to lead remain a serious problem in many developing and industrializing countries, as well as in some developed countries. In recent years, in most developed countries the introduction of lead into the human environment has decreased largely because of public health problems and a decrease in its commercial usage, especially in petrol. Severe lead poisoning has become rare in these countries, but chronic exposure to low levels of the lead is still a big health problem. In developing countries, awareness of the public health effects of lead exposure is growing but relatively few of these countries have policies and regulations for minimizing the problem.
